You are a solar-powered craft. The sun is your death timer. Hurtle towards the sunset at breakneck speed in a futile race against time. Delay the inevitable by catching speed boosts which reverse the setting sun - if only for a moment.

Hey everyone, we just launched the final round of our Prototype Showdown, where our community gets to choose our next game project.

If you've participated in earlier rounds, the two games will be familiar to you. However, we've added some additional info for each game. Notably, if Taxi Copter wins, it will likely be on Steam Early Access as early as this fall, with frequent updates after that.

If "A Traveler" wins, it will launch in 2019-ish.

We've also added a bit more info about where we see each of these games going, which you can access on the "More Info/Send Feedback" link for each game.

Hey all, we just wanted to let you know that we just released version 1.531, which includes support for Steam VR! It's designed as a seated experience, and for now uses the same keyboard/gamepad input as the 2D version. We hope you enjoy it!

(Note: VR support is currently windows only. We will look into the possibility of supporting Linux in the future.)

About This Game

You are a solar craft. The sun is your death timer. Hurtle towards the sunset at breakneck speed in a futile race against time. Delay the inevitable by catching energy boosts which reverse the setting sun - if only for a moment.

Race The Sun is inspired by arcade games of the past with a focus on highscores, short game sessions, and a sense of pure fun mingled with a nerve-wracking tension. The rules are simple: don't crash, stay in the light, and don't slow down!

Key Features

Race at insane speeds through an infinite procedural world that changes every day
